I'm sorry to see you go Shamus. I've learned much from reading your posts & articles.
There are times (at least once a month) when I want to chuck this whole on-line thing too.
Though The Gauge may be at a loss, I'm sure Badger Creek will prosper from the extra time & funds you'll now have.
Good luck to you & yours, friend!

It's sad tou hear that your are leaving us. I hope you can come back here, very soon. I don't know about the UK, but here in the US we can access the internet from our local libaries. As someone who specailizes in communications, I would find a way back! I hope you are not gone forever. I'll be looking towards the day you will be back.

I can't say it any better that others already have, but I do want to add my best wishes. Your contributions to the arts of model railroading and photography are valued by us. I do hope you are departing with a round-trip ticket in hand.

Well, friend. we have your photos and articles in the academy, but how will we muggle along with out your wizardly modeling advice?? I will miss your posts here, and our email correspondence. I hope we might exchange a letter now and then.
All the best to you, and God Bless.
